It can be difficult for me to stay focused in one creative area. I have two wonderful ambitions. One is painting and the other is creating beaded jewelry.Both of these processes are yielding lots of art and ideas. I want to share these ideas and art works you, so I am working on two websites, this one, sarahbutcher.com and my sister site bead social.sarahbutcher.com showcases my fine art and beadsocial is my creative event company.My paintings are available for you to purchase. Each one is a 20 x 30 inch canvas print. Because these are digital paintings I can create them in other sizes and surfaces as well.I am working on product listings for each one. If you are interested in purchasing a painting now email me,with the title and size you want and I will create a piece for you. Shipping is free and your satisfaction is guaranteed. I will refund you the purchase price if you are unhappy for any reason. email

In my professional life I am foremost an artist. I am happiest when making something. I love to "try things out" and create prototypes until I hit on something that "works"I hope that devotion to to my art rubs off on my students.​I love to teach creative concepts and give students the skills to develop their style and unique way to make a mark in this ever increasingly buzzing world! I have a BA degree in Fine Art and a certification in Web design. I won my first art award in 1980 and have exhibited work in New York and Baltimore. Several pieces of my art have been published in literary journals, including "The Red Anthology" by Indigo Press.I was honored to be the first recipient of a grant that allowed me to travel to France to study the masters. I love the light captured in impressionist paintings. Being able to see the work of Monet and visit Giverny was an important turning point in my understanding of painting.
